Rising prices are putting pressure on people to try and use less energy. But what are the most effective ways of cutting bills? We asked five experts for their practical advice.1. Insulate your homeUpgrading loft insulation to current standards, typically 27–30cm thick for mineral wool, improves energy efficiency, comfort and long-term cost savings. It acts as a thermal barrier, as up to 25% of a home’s heat can escape through an uninsulated roof. Installing cavity wall insulation in older homes improves efficiency by reducing heat loss through walls by up to 35%.Using draught excluders, keeping internal doors closed on cold days, and installing a smart energy controller also help retain warmth and optimise energy use. All these measures can help lower heating bills, maintain warmer indoor temperatures, reduce draughts, minimise condensation, and improve a home’s energy performance certificate rating.The cheapest energy is the energy we do not use. That’s why the International Energy Agency describes energy efficiency as the “first fuel”. Buildings account for around 30% of global energy demand, so homes are a critical part of both affordability and energy security.In the UK, 420,600 energy-efficiency measures were installed in 2024 through government support schemes. There is clearly strong demand for more measures like this.Farooq Sher is a senior lecturer in sustainable energy engineeringAdding insulation can help keep heating bills down. irin-k/Shutterstock2. Go fully electricAlmost everything in our house is now electric, including our heating, cooking and car. This makes environmental sense because electricity can easily be generated from low-emission sources, whereas gas, petrol and diesel can only really come from extracting and refining fossil fuels. In the UK, we generate electricity from a range of sources including solar, wind, tidal

#South Korea's Unification Ministry stated Friday it has no knowledge of any formal U.S. protest or intelligence-sharing restrictions, following media reports suggesting Washington expressed frustration over a cabinet minister's public disclosure of a previously unconfirmed North Korean nuclear facility.The controversy stems from remarks made by Unification Minister Chung Dong-young during a parliamentary hearing on March 6, where he identified a uranium enrichment facility in Kusong, North Korea — a site not previously confirmed publicly — alongside the already-known locations of Yongbyon and Kangson. South Korean officials say Chung's statements were drawn from publicly available information, including international research publications, and that the United States had accepted this explanation after the South Korean ministry addressed an inquiry from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo reported that Washington conveyed its displeasure to Seoul over the disclosure, with sources in both countries indicating the U.S. signaled it might partially limit North Korea-related intelligence sharing. According to the report, Chung's remarks were a triggering factor amid wider accumulated tensions between the two allies over foreign policy and security disagreements.When asked directly whether intelligence sharing had been restricted, a U.S. State Department spokesperson declined to comment, citing standard protocol on intelligence matters. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul also offered no immediate response.Adding another layer to the dispute, Chung attributed part of his Kusong remarks to statements made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi. However, a review of the official IAEA transcript shows Grossi referenced only Yongbyon and Kangson — with no mention of Kusong — raising further questions about the source of the minister's claims.South Korea maintains that any U.S. concerns were not directly tied to the minister's comme

Solana’s Compression Phase Deepens Inside a Wedge Within a Wedge as Developer Growth Outpaces Ether by 1.18X

Given that Solana (SOL) is witnessing a wedge-within-a-wedge setup, price volatility might be taking a back seat as buyers and sellers converge.

According to market analyst GainMuse, this technical pattern is quite powerful since it illustrates heightened compression across multiple timeframes, which usually precedes a decisive move.

Well, the key support zone between $78-$80 is at the epicenter, as it has emerged as the line in the sand, with buyers repeatedly defending it whenever the price weakens.

On the other hand, the $102 to $104 zone has materialized as a macro resistance band that warrants close attention, as it has historically served as the ceiling during price expansion phases. 

Presently, SOL is trading at $87, indicating that the 7th-largest cryptocurrency is roughly mid-range between its upside target and immediate support, suggesting a state of equilibrium between sellers and buyers.

PIPPIN surges 16%, but the threat of a sharp reversal looms

The risk of a potential price decline in Solana-based Pippin (PIPPIN) continues to rise, even after rallying 16% over the past 24 hours.

As of the 17th of April, while the broader crypto market continues to struggle, PIPPIN has posted notable gains and reached a key reversal zone where it has historically faced selling pressure.

At press time, PIPPIN was trading at $0.0355, up 16.05% over the past 24 hours. It also recorded an intraday high of $0.04273 during the same period.



The asset’s notable price surge appears to have attracted significant market participation, as reflected in trading volume, which jumped over 95% to $51.02 million.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Iran's Friday announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened during the current ceasefire triggered one of the sharpest oil reversals of the year.

Brent crude fell 12.95% to $86.52, and WTI dropped 14.26% to $81.19, both their lowest levels since Mar. 11 and the largest single-day declines since Apr. 8. US stocks surged, bond yields dropped, the dollar weakened, and Bitcoin registered an intraday high of $78,336.

Traders stripped the war premium they had spent weeks layering into crude prices, and risk assets repriced accordingly.

Yesterday, the Strait was opened on Iranian terms. Commercial vessels required authorization from Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization and the IRGC and had to transit through Iran-designated safe lanes, but the US blockade on Iranian shipping remains fully in place until a broader diplomatic settlement.

That window has already narrowed. As of Apr. 18, Iran said it had closed the Strait again after the US left its blockade in place, pushing the market back into a countdown toward the Apr. 22 ceasefire deadline.

Only eight oil and gas tankers moved during the reopening, underscoring how far the route remains from anything resembling normal traffic.
